“Carolyn was fantastic! She loved on my dog so well and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Carolyn's care. She was prompt with the timing of her visit and was quick with her communication. She played with Jeans the whole weekend. And to top it off, we came home to a clean house and even clean sheets! I will definitely book with Carolyn again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
“Amanda went beyond the call of duty caring for our two dogs, who are quite comfortable at home but had never been watched by a stranger for an extended period of time (18 days). Both dogs took right to Amanda. She supplied text and photo updates throughout our time away. She followed instructions to the letter and didn't hesitate to ask questions or suggest an idea if it came up. The house was spotless when we got back, and the dogs were happy. There's no question we'll seek out Amanda again if the need arises. We don't think you'll find a better sitter.”
“Eliza was absolutely fantastic! She gave regular updates and stayed with our girl the whole time we were away. Her communication is exceptional and we really appreciated her coming on short notice, and doing such a wonderful job. :)”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—everything from energetic Labs to laid-back Basset Hounds, plus a rescue puppy that I personally helped train and grow into a well-behaved companion. That hands-on experience has taught me how to understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. From basic training and leash manners to patience with shy or stubborn pups, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and creating a positive, fun experience for them every time we’re together. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long adventure walk, or just some extra love while you’re busy, I treat every walk like it matters—because it does. I tailor each visit to your dog’s personality, pace, and needs, making sure they feel safe, stimulated, and happy every step of the way. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I’m experienced, attentive, and ready to keep tails wagging. Full time job but available in the evenings and weekends to take care of your furry friends, whether that’s a potty break or a walk on my way home from work, or hanging out all weekend! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or any specific habits your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, not just the basics. I keep their environment clean, refresh water bowls, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also mindful of your home, treating it with respect and keeping everything just as I found it.
About: I’ve had dogs for 12+ years. Two I’ve raised from puppy’s and worked on behavioral training such as, going on walks, sitting, laying, and many other things. I have also trained show pigs for the last 9 years. I am available Monday through Friday most day hours. I am available some evenings and some weekends. I enjoy working with animals and helping out anyway I can. I treat the animal with respect and follow instruction as needed. I believe in consistency so that the animal doesn’t get confused. I think it’s important that the dog feels comfortable, gets cared for, and gets plenty of exercise.
“We couldn't be happier with Deana as our in home dog sitter! We hired her for a week and she took great care of our two doggos. She was very conscientious of their needs and asked great questions during her meet and greet. She took care of our home and did everything we asked and more! We definitely recommend her and hope we can hire her again!”
“Preston came over prior to dogsittting for a meet and greet with the dogs. We have 3 large dogs which can be a lot. She did great with them over the weekend! We would definitely book her again!”
“Rachel was a lifesaver for us. Very accommodating and helpful. I have pretty complicated feeding and medicine instructions due to some recent health issues with my pets and Rachel followed them fairly well as far as I could tell when I got home. She was really communicative during the stay and sent a lot of pictures which was great.”
“Madyson was awesome! She was very communicative and made us feel very comfortable that our pup was being well taken care of. Plus Madyson is a very sweet person! Our dog was very calm when we got home which she usually isn’t that way. 10 out of 10 and we are picky!!!”
About: Although I have minimal experience with pet care, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs and cats in the house. I absolutely love pets and take pride in the patience and gentleness that I’ve been blessed with. I always show the absolute most love that I can to pets. I’ve also lived on farms for the majority of my life with animals like cows, horses, chickens, and even donkeys. All being said, I love animals and will give nothing but that love to yours! I currently work part time, giving me plenty of time to spend time with your pets and give them the attention they need. I live in town and work In the area, making for easy transportation to your house when needed. This doesn’t stop me however from traveling further out if you live further away! Every where I go, I go with the mindset of leaving it better than I left it. I am careful with my surroundings, and always make certain to keep everyone out of danger and trouble.
“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”
About: One of my favorite things about working with dogs is that every dog has a different personality. I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable and happy, and I adjust my care to fit their needs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active, so dog walks and visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicate with owners, and ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their individual needs, and provide plenty of care, attention, and updates while you’re away.
About: I have owned dogs most of my upbringing and early adulthood. I now have more free time to help others take care of their dogs without worry. I work a part time waitressing job, mostly in the afternoons. So I am free all day long while you are at work. I am able to flex and change my schedule for you! I am free to watch your dogs in your home so your animal knows its environment is safe. I am also free to just pop over and take your dog for a long walk.
“Natasha did an awesome job pet sitting for Vada! She spent extra time with her (because Vada is so loveable!) I'll definitely use Natasha again if our schedules align.”
“Shylina is the best!! She quickly engaged with Brodie — he settled into his normal routine with her right away. Shylina sent great pictures, daily. I had total peace of mind while I was away, and have already booked for my next trip 😊”
“There are no words to express my gratitude to Jessica she was sweet and caring. I was out for a weekend and it is the first time I had to live my cat alone; Jessica babysat her and followed all the routine and perks my cat is used to. Even though Peggy is sort on the shy side, she loved Jessica and I was able to confirmed it when Jessica stopped by to drop the keys, my cat went down her tower to greet her. I will definitely schedule her again if I need to get out of town.”

From the pictures and messages we received while at our daughter's wedding, I had no doubt that our dogs were in good hands with Rachel. From the moment our crew met with Rachel, I knew it would be a great fit. Without hesitation, I would book with Rachel again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Roberts
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Roberts on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,329 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roberts. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Roberts walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Roberts maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Roberts choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
